The river swims like a blue dragon, like a dragon's whiskers. On the vast grassy beach and in the swamp, there are clumps of violet-colored weeds. And further away, there are canals, cultivated land, and grain.
People here use plows from the east. In the past, when the adults traveled far, the westernmost point they reached was here. Going forward, what awaited in front was a deserted salt field with no idea where it ended. plateau.
This is where Shi Shen lives. It is the so-called land of Bactria in the East. Continuing to the west, passing through the majestic plateau salt land, and then passing through a narrow mountain range, you can reach the two river basins of Sumer. .
Going south from here, you can reach the Khyber Pass and enter the Indian subcontinent.
This majestic plateau is the land of Persia. However, in this era, there are no human races living in the central area of this plateau. The only human races are also distributed in the north and south or in the border areas of the plateau. These areas have sufficient precipitation and fertile land. The central area of the plateau is extremely dry.
These people are called the Elamites. They are one of the oldest cultures in the Persian region. They are located in the southwest of contemporary Iran. They founded their country on the east bank of the Tigris River before 3,000 BC. They are known as a warlike people.
As for the land of Daxia that we arrived at this time, it became the Beiting Protectorate during the Tang Dynasty and was included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. However, the people living in this land were weak in character and not good at fighting. This has been the case for thousands of years, but the people around them are all very capable of fighting, so much so that Daxia is always repeatedly pinned to the ground and rubbed in the history books.
To the north of Bactria is a plain, later known as the Turan Plain. The stories of the first two mythical dynasties told in the Persian "Book of Kings" were born on this plain.
"I'm afraid the feng shui of this place is not good. It's okay. I'm here, Azai, to change the feng shui."
Yu Zai had already begun carving stone tablets, and at the same time quickly fired a batch of pottery with the sun's divine fire, and then carefully buried it in a deep pit in the ground, creating evidence from ancient times.
The local people seemed to be surprised at the arrival of Yu Zai. They could also speak Chinese characters, and the characters they wrote were also the Cangjie characters of Zhu Xia.
Yu Zai's appearance is that of an Easterner, very similar to Shi Chen, their former leader here.
Although the clothes and attire are slightly different, people from other places can still recognize them at a glance. What's more, the way Yuzai appears here is too magical. He descends with a magnificent red light, just like a god.
"Are you a member of the same clan as Chief Shi Shen? Are you from the far east?"
"Yes, I am the king of the east."
The people living in the land of Daxia were surprised. In the past, the King of the East, there was also a giant who crossed the Yuyuan Valley, crossed the majestic Sun Mountains, and arrived at this land. The last time the giant came At that time, they brought them farming tools and techniques, which gradually made their place prosperous and got rid of the era of slash-and-burn farming.
"A god from the west has arrived here, and a wise sage from the east has guided us forward. That god has gone to the east. Have you seen him?"
"I saw it. I came here just for some of the things he said."
Yuzai was very kind, and like Shichen, he quickly gained the love of the locals. They found that the King of the East was not condescending, but talked to them cordially.
"Why don't you bring an entourage? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
“Are the lands of the East really full of grain?”
"Bronzeware, can you teach us how to smelt copper?"
"This huge monster next to you, what kind of power does it have?"
The local people gathered together and they had many questions they wanted to ask.
"When Chief Shen went to his homeland in the East, we thought it would be impossible for him to pass through the majestic snow-capped mountains. Many young men in the tribe also left with him."
The horse follows the wind, the fox dies on the first hill, and it is necessary to be buried in the homeland before death. This is probably an emotion that only the people of the East have.
In the eyes of the people in the land of Great Xia, going to the snow-capped mountains was tantamount to committing suicide, but Shen still set foot on the road home without looking back, and with the help of Nabu, he successfully returned to his homeland.
That road was the road that Shi Shen took all those years ago. He was very glad that he had not forgotten that route and kept moving forward in desperate situations before reaching the land of Daxia.
Later, I found out that the long and wide mountain road that was very obvious in the mountains was opened by the giants of the adult country.
Originally the road there was very small, but the giants dug into the mountain and widened the intersection.
Yuzai told the locals that he would build a road here to reach here from the eastern land, and then build a city here to promote production.
In this era, the cultural influence on the original inhabitants determined the future and direction of the development of the secondary civilizations that would be born in the future.
Just as Persia was later influenced by Alexander's Eastern Expeditions, many Greek-style buildings and culture appeared.
Weak civilizations will be influenced and even assimilated by strong civilizations.
So, in this ancient land where myths and stories have just been born, use Eastern culture to influence this land and tell them that the sun god they believe in is Emperor Yan, the thunder god they believe in is Huangdi, the wind god and rain god they believe in, It is Feng Boyu Master, who believes that the destination after death is the stars in the sky.
This change is just like the Akkadian invasion of the Third Dynasty of Uruk in Sumer, which replaced the beliefs of the gods, such as Inanna, the goddess in charge of Venus, agriculture and storms, into war and love. The same as Ishtar, the patron saint.
As a result, Nabu had to go far away to the east, and the other gods also lost their faith and were scattered across the world of Mesopotamia.
The development of land, the prosperity of population, and the development of civilization gradually developed from the earliest blood relationship, to the later family relationship, and then to the regional relationship, into cultural relationships.
When the other party has no way to explain where their ancestors came from, tell them first where you came from and why you are here.
Only by knowing the past can we know the future, and in the oldest era, if there were no epic poems passed down from generation to generation, the past would be a hazy color.
Many ancestor legends in the world have something in common. The difference lies in the different roles played by ancestors in each other's stories. For people or gods in the East, resistance is the most common core spirit. Tianli
Just repair it by yourself, control the flood by yourself, and make enough food and clothing by yourself. As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Yuzai carved stone tablets here and buried many historical records. The largest one stands on the land. The local people do not reject Eastern culture, because in their view, when they were in the most difficult time, it was the East.
The people who came brought plows and advanced farming methods.
In the oldest primitive era, eating hair and drinking blood was progress, at least people learned to hunt; in the era of eating hair and drinking blood, learning to use flames was progress, and people learned to use fire to drive away enemies and survive; in the era when flames were born, slashing and burning was progress, and people
